Mitsubishi has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 through 2009 Outlander and Lacer vehicles. They stated incorrect material composition of the brake booster check valve may cause the check valve to stick closed when the engine is shut off. When the vehicle is restarted and put into motion, under certain driving conditions (very slow vehicle manuevers), there may be insufficent initial braking assist.
This may temporarily increase the stopping distance of the vehicle and therefore increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the brake booster check valve free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during April 2009. Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037.
